Thank you, Lorraine for your nice review and rating
Comment from Bill Schott
Talk about epiphany! That last couplet, along with the initial one that denotes the man within the exterior, peals off the 'duty to country' facade and reveals the 'protect business interests by making our young become cannon fodder for global gain'.

This can be true of any conscripted soldier that sees that war is only a power play for most governments. But it doesn't take away the bravery of anyone who decides to go to war.

Comment from Mary Hollingsworth
I really don't understand the storyline but I can comment on the structure which is great the Rhythm which is also great and the rhyme. I'm thinking that this is a farmer that was a soldier a general really because the other guys were in other uniform so he was their General or he was above them anyway I don't want to speculate I'll just say the form and everything for a poem that I didn't understand I love the structure of it.

Thank you, Mary for your nice review and rating. The story is about a soldier back from a war who became a farmer. He came to realize that the enemy are just like him. Each soldier fighting for his president or other leader (lords). None in on the decision to go to war and being brainwashed that it is a just war. (A few are, but, most are not). He realizes he was just a pawn or disposable youth. The leader does not really care what happens to him and the war is not really just. Anyway, that is what I was trying to communicate. Take care

Do you mean an epiphany in your notes? Your poem is profound and meaningful and the sentiments are truthful and honest. The truth is that the young are cannon fodder in war zones, great work Pam, love Dolly x

Did I misspell epiphany? Let me check. I posted this for Roy Owen and Tony Brook who both posted war poems recently. Thank you for your nice review and rating
